One of the incredibly wonderful businesses I work in my every day business as a Realtor® is MacDaniel Signs and Installations. I think I hired them for the first time back in 2008 and have been using them for all my transactions, with little exceptions, over the years till now.

They have set up an operation that is working like a Swiss clock - precise, exact, elegant. In 2008 we created a customer online account from where we ordered the installation of the posts for signs in front of the homes or commercial properties for sale. This portal did not change for all those years, we felt comfortably familiar with everything - yet it contained everything we needed, presented in a simple and clear way. I can order at any time, within minutes, my signs and posts from the templates that were available, I can see the history of my orders from the very beginning of my being a customer with them. All the expectations were clearly written, for e.g. if I do so and so before 2 pm, this will happen on this day, if after 2pm, on the next day.

Somehow, I never had to call for additional clarification, or let alone for a complaint. Everything went smoothly, as expected, professionally performed. The person who was installing the signs and posts was always the same, he knew me personally, too - I had attended a few of the post installations to make sure the sign was visible enough from both street.

About a month ago, I received an email from my contact at Macdaniel Signs - and here is what it says:

===============================================================

Dear Valued Installation Customer,

After 58 years of signs service and 45 years of myself working in the family business I am retiring.

We will continue to do the installation service until April 30th 2020. If you store your signs with us please email the installation department at installations@macdanielsigns.com to make arrangements to pick them up.

Here is a list of other Post Installation companies in the valley:

You can contact one of these post companies and make arrangements with them to pick up your signs, but please make sure to let us know they are picking up your signs.

It has been a pleasure working with and servicing you for all these years.

-- Debbie at MacDaniel Signs

==============================================================

When nothing goes wrong, we don't need to interact the customer service - Macdaniel Signs customer service was somehow embedded in their process, so that I don't have to call them. They knew and anticipated our needs, and proactively responded. From the email I learned that the people that I had been admiring quietly have been doing this work for 58 years, and after 45 years in the family business they were retiring. And Debbie, our primary contact, she still cared for us, her customers, she sent a list of substitute companies to contact, so that there is no interruption of our process.

One thing, I always wondered, is how MacDaniel Signs never sent me ads, never had special promotions, no questionnaires about how they are doing, they did not even change prices very much for the last 12 years, yet they were always top of mind, and we never thought of anyone else when we needed signs and installations.

Now, I am sitting back, and thinking how they have designed the essential functions within their business to be available to their clients in an easy to understand and connect way all the time.

I am so grateful to have worked with the Debbie, Jose and all the professionals from MacDaniel Signs.

This is our monthly Phoenix Area Real Estate Market update for May 2020.

The dynamics in the real estate market are always changing. These last couple of weeks they have been quite dramatic. One curious fact is that if you are a Buyer and did not buy last year, it is still not too late - prices went up, but interest rates went down, and the monthly payments on a $300,000 loan (P+I) can be lower than what they were last year at this time. And if you are a Seller, and did not sell last year, it is still a Seller's market, trending higher.

If you have questions, after you watch the video, please reach out to me. I will be happy to provide the most up-date real estate market info.

This beautiful 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Phoenix AZ 85029 is now under contract. It was on the market for about 10 days before the Sellers accepted an offer.

Tamarron subdivision in Phoenix, AZ 85029 is located West of I-17, between Cactus Rd and Thunderbird Rd.

It was built in the late seventies, early eighties of last century. This is a neighborhood with no HOA. A lot of homes have larger back yards, and side gates that allow storing of a larger vehicle like a boat, or an RV.

The elementary school is within walking distance, and the West Campus of ASU is close by, within a biking distance. There is a university bus, which transports students, faculty and staff between the two campuses - in West Phoenix and Tempe. Residents enjoy the peaceful parks nearby, trails and lakes.
